The John Cochran VA Hospital Emergency Room remains OPEN. If the JC ER is not your closest facility, Veterans should dial 911 and go to the nearest emergency room in the event of a life-threatening emergency.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, dial the Veteran Crisis Line at 988 (option 1) or text 83255.

For non-urgent, non-emergency matters, Veterans should message their primary care teams via My HealtheVet: https://www.va.gov/health-care/

Veterans take the spotlight at the Creative Arts Festival at Jefferson Barracks!

As the final curtain falls and the stage lights dim, another memorable Veterans Creative Arts Festival (CAF) comes to a close, brought to life by a dedicated team of VA staff and volunteers. Under the guidance of Creative Arts Therapist/CAF chair Bren Elfgen, VA St. Louis inspires enrolled Veterans to showcase their talents across performing arts, creative writing, and visual art categories.

VA St. Louis has a long history of hosting a local festival dating back to the 1980s and takes great pride in being a host city for the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival three times. The first was in 1989 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre; the second was in 2007 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center at UM-St. Louis, and finally in 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Downtown, with stage performances at the John Burroughs School in Ladue, MO.

98 Veterans entered the competition this year. First, second, and third-place winners will be submitted for consideration to the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival (NVCAF), which will be held in North Carolina in 2026.

Best wishes and congratulations to all our Veteran Creatives!
